RE: Marking servlet org.apache.catalina.INVOKER.ImageRender as un available

JS,Srinivasu,

I did figure out what the problem was: the path I was using to reference
the servlet from the JSP page had to be changed to include the root
directory of my webapp. 

the (very simple) web.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!DOCTYPE web-app
        PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
        "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/web-app_2_3.dtd">

<web-app>
        <servlet>
                <servlet-name>ImageRender</servlet-name>
                <servlet-class>ImageRender</servlet-class>
        </servlet>
        <servlet-mapping>
                <servlet-name>ImageRender</servlet-name>
                <url-pattern>/ImageRender</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

I had been referencing it with the path "/servlet/ImageRender". I
changed it to "PhotoGallery/servlet/ImageRender". That made it work.

The code that retrieves binary data from the database is:

try {
            Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
            java.sql.Connection conn;
            conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://yourhost/yourdatabase?user=xxx&password=xxxxx");
            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
            
            ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select photo from pics where
your_qualifications = whatever_you_need_to_do);
            if( rs.next() ) {
                InputStream in = rs.getBinaryStream(1);
                response.setContentType("image/jpg");
                ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
                int c;
                while((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                    out.write(c);
                }
                in.close();
                out.close();
            }
            
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.getMessage();
            
        }

This code needs tweaking, but should get you started. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
-andy
